Description
This is a fidget spinner that has 3 USB sticks on the ends of its arms. Please be careful: when spinning without cap the USB sticks can be sharp.
On my spinner, I have one stick for portable apps, one with Ventoy and a few boot-ISOs, and one with a Windows rescue system. Very handy to have in my backpack…
You need three USB sticks for this. Buy the type that has their ends the same size as the connectors: 12x4.5mm.
Print it lying flat on its back. You can choose to wait for the finished spinner to push the sticks in, but you can also pause the print right before the bridging starts; that way you'll get a metal support structure for the bridges :-)
Push in a regular 608 bearing, and you can use the caps from https://www.printables.com/model/536261-gripcap-the-fidget-spinner-bearing-cap for the center caps.
You can also print 3 of the end caps. But since I loose them all the time, I don't bother anymore :-)
